On Sunday we took the kids up to Buffalo and met Bob’s parents, my parents, and Bob’s sister’s family for lunch and presents for the twins, and then we took everyone to the Botanical Gardens. We had a lovely time, and it was a fun way to spend a relatively warm (but wet) November Sunday!

I’m obsessed with the bonsai collection at the Botanical Gardens.

I forced them to hug.

The three six-year-olds love to play together, and Grant THINKS he’s a big kid.

Johnny, Ele, Henry, Brynn, and Grant, and everyone looking and smiling! Hello Christmas Card! So lucky that no one looks uncomfortable or like their aunt or mother is making them pose! What amazing luck.

Found in the desert house.

Looking magnificent with an orchid.

Pamana is far away.
